Book Description by Author:

The story begins when twelve-year-old Jake Hollywood finds an envelope on his way to school one morning. Unexplainably, he feels it is drawing him towards it, and he bends to pick it up.

And then it happens...

Just as he touches the envelope, a stream of white light bursts from it, blinding him. He hears a cacophony of distant sirens, and a thunderclap so loud it shakes the earth beneath him. And when Jake finally plucks up his courage, he discovers a newspaper inside the envelope: TITANIC SINKS FOUR HOURS AFTER HITTING ICEBERG....

Moments later, he finds himself in the bowels of the ill-fated ocean liner, and over a hundred years in the past. Armed only with the knowledge of what will happen if he does nothing—and a mysterious key he finds in the maze of corridors—Jake has to try to save the ship and himself while being chased by someone who will do almost anything to stop him.

So book your ticket, board the doomed ship, and find out if Jake will be able to change history, or find out why he was chosen to be transported back in time, as the Titanic crosses the Atlantic Ocean, on its way to New York....

But even if he does both, will Jake Hollywood ever manage to return to the present?
